Throughout the COVID-19 crisis, we have witnessed significant volatility and dislocations that have roiled cross-border supply chains, financial and commodity markets, and the cost and availability of funding. While governments and central banks have unleashed significant firepower to ease the supply of credit, the operating environment remains fragile and prone to ongoing uncertainty.
These headwinds are of particular concern to companies that fall into sectors that are most impacted by the ongoing dislocations – such as energy, transport and hospitality. Within those and other impacted sectors, companies with high debt-to-earnings ratios that are simultaneously grappling with material revenue pressures will continue to feel the most stress as they seek to stabilize their balance sheets.
Drawing on lessons learned from the global financial crisis, we have seen a strong correlation between proactive working capital strategies and earnings per share (EPS) growth over the cycle, as companies with the most efficient cash conversion cycles registered EPS growth rates 1.5x compared with their peers between 2008 and 2011.
Taken together, this suggests that effective working capital optimization techniques can help ease liquidity and funding pressures in the immediate term. Whenever the recovery begins, companies with optimized working capital management should be better positioned to shift their focus towards growth.
